In the fall of '25 when Bobby arrived at the school, he was designated at the beginning to become one of the most popular boys in our midst, and toward this designation he has succeeded vvorthily. A glance at the list of his nicknames is proof enough of his popularity among us all. Handicapped by a badly cartilage-torn knee which he received in a football scrimmage, and which later resulted in a very severe operation, Rob was hindered in his athletic en- R-1 'iii deavors, however, he has been a very valuable mem- ber of the Basketball squad for the past three years, his knee injury having entirely prevented participa- tion in any of the other major sports. I Robbo's ready Wit has often kept small gather- ings ot boys in the corridors in uproarious laughter, and .his grades show an equivalent efficiency in his studies. In school activities 4'Bobby has also taken a great interest, being the most efficient president of the Hop Qommittee seen at Woodbe1'ry in recent YG-H1'S5 besides being manager of the great 1928 uHSC01'ed'Ul5011 eleven, and a member of the FIR TREE Board.

J im came to Woodbe1'ry four years ago from the St. Albans School in Washing- ton, and in that span of seasons he has more than contributed his bit to VVoodberry athletics and various forms of school activities. There can be no denial of the suc- cess which has rightly been his. Football is this boy's pet hobby, and for the past two years he has proven himself to be one of the greatest ball carriers in the annals of interscholastic football history. Jim's athletic activities are not limited to the grid- iron, for he is the featured member of the track team, consistently placing in the shot put, javelin, dash, and broadjump events. Mamie is one of the most popular boys in school. A congenial nature, a ready wit, and a famous laugh, not to mention an endless knowledge of songs and poems are outstanding characteristics of his make-up. In school activities there is no end to Jimls achieve- ments. For two years he has served as the President Of the Cr. A. A. and as a member of the Senior Council and the Prefect Board. Other accomplish- ments include, Presidency of the Senior Class, Pres- idency of the VV Club, Oracle Board, Choir, and the Glee Club. '4Maje,s7' stay at WVoodberry has been exceedingly well spent, and his career at Virginia, which he enters next fall, will be watched with interest by his many friends here and at college.

HERRERT FULLER CARROLL RALEIGH, N. C. Herb, Herbie,', Earl, Surg Graclf11c1,fe,' Junior Baseball '28-'29 j German, Club '28-'Q9,' .farmer Varsity Boslcetball Squad 'Q8,' Junior Basketball '28-'29, Herb7' has been at Woodber1'y only two years, but during these two years he has won the respect and admiration of his fellows by his congenial manner. He has been a staunch and loyal booster of every school activity, since he first entered Woodberry. His interest in school life has not for one instant been dulled by the carrying out of his own desires. His average always stays around eighty-five, and I while this does not show him to be a brilliant student, it marks him as a hard and consistent worker. A What book knowledge is lacking in 4'Herb's make- up is doubly supplied by his quantity of good old connnon sense, which has showed itself time after time. Herb7' has not been a splendid athlete who has made four letters and is a star in all sports, but z Minn he has made up for this by the interest which he has shown on every athletic squad of which he has been 'w---w a member. He has played Junior Basketball and WT' Baseball, and no enthusiasm of his has been lacking in Tennis and Golf. ,,.,f-ff Wlieii the doors of Wooclbe1'1'y are opened for the 11ineteel1-twellty-nine-thirty, He1'b's absence will be heavily felt. He is ,going to the University of North Carolina next year to complete his education. llle can look forward to seeing him enjoy the sanie success which has marked his career here at WOOClll91'1'y, and which has been won for hint by the place he holds in the heart of every VVoodberry boy.
